'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: U.N. adopts resolution over N. Korea's human rights abuse

U.N. adopts resolution over N. Korea's human rights abuse

SEOUL, March 24 (Yonhap) -- The U.N. Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on Thursday to express concerns about North Korea's grave and extensive violations of human rights, Seoul's foreign ministry said.

The 47-member inter-governmental body passed a resolution with 'yes' votes from 30 member countries, expressing deep concerns over North Korea's "grave, widespread and systematic" violations of human rights.

Three countries, including China and Russia, were against the resolution, which was tabled by the European Union and Japan, while 11 member countries abstained.

The U.N. rights council renewed the mandate of its special rapporteur on North Korean human rights Marzuki Darusman and called for the North to allow him to visit the communist country. The resolution also urged Pyongyang to guarantee access of humanitarian aid.

North Korea has long been accused of human rights abuses, encompassing holding hundreds of thousands of people in political prison camps and conducting torture and public executions.
